stayed for 4 nights in early july in self catering apartment, olivio 3. Highly rated as a place to stay- 2 double rooms, stove and grill, tables inside aswell as balcony, good quality furnishings, excellent shower and a good pool and relaxation area. approx 20 mins walk into Siena or 10 euro taxi ride. A welcome but convenient break from the city bustle. Staff were friendly and efficient. Bar prices reasonable and good quality wine for 12 euros a bottle. would recommend for couples and families wanting convenience of the city aswell as a swimming pool/quiet sitting area. Will be back again.

A charming, beautifully landscaped hotel/apartment on the outskirts of Siena, Borgo Grandaie was more than expected. The staff is super-friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The apartments are clean, cozy and equipped with all of your daily needs. The pool was extremely clean and quite refreshing considering the sweltering heat and humidity in July.
As noted in many other reviews, the walk to the Campo is a little further than one would like, but definitely doable. Otherwise, the reception desk attendant can order you a taxi that is usually there in less than five minutes, even during peak hours. The taxi was around 10 to 11 euro to get to the Campo. The Coop grocery store was very convenient and was larger than imagined and had everything one could possibly need.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for an ideal Tuscan getaway with a beautiful city like Siena to boot.
One last thing, the Palio is not worth going to and everyone should avoid it at all costs! (I hope my sarcasm keeps all tourists away!)

What a delightful place! The apartments are rustic and simple yet provide all the basic amenities one needs. Everything was impeccably clean and well designed.

The bathroom shower could have been a little more ergonomic. It could not be positioned at a convenient angle.

All in all, a charming place that is 5 min away from Siena and has easy access to all the charms of Tuscany. I would recommend you spend an entire day exploring the gardens and drinking Chianti wine. What could be better!

Had a great time in Siena and surrounding area based in this superb hotel. It was clean, quiet and the staff were so friendly and extremely helpful. Can't speak highly enough of this hotel.
Too many great places to vist to include here but must mention Ballooning in Tuscany with Robert Etherington. Apart from the flight which was great the hospitality provided by Robert and his wife Liz is exceptional. Well worth getting up at 5.00 am for an hours drive to take off at dawn. If you can only do one thing in the area this is it!.
